I know who next year's manager is going to be. I can't tell you who it is, but I have some hints...

He's going to take the starters out too early. He's going to rest everyday players too much. He's going publicly say nice things about players who stink. He's going to be terrible at bullpen management. He's not going to have guys bunt enough. He's going to change the lineup all the time. He's going to refuse to just let young guys play everyday to get experience.

 

wait...I get it.

will he have a mohawk, slick 70s era van, and enjoy drinking wine?

Also, he won't give revealing answers in press conferences.

Without giving too much away, does this individual enjoy a regular plate of pasta made with flat-sheet noodles?

[Angels 1961]

Angels just announced looking for manager with a law degree

[Swordsman78]

Next Years manager will be Big Blue

[eligrba4ever]

Any manager or GM, who takes the Angels job before the sale or no-sale status of the team is settled risks a very short-term employment.

The ownership uncertainty may cause the lame-duck current management to continue through the offseason.

Since Aug 1 the Angels record is 17-17.

Results matter right? @Blarg@Hubs

And since this message, they're 1-3. Nevin is 17 games under .500.

He was 10-13 in June, a pathetic 6-18 in July, 14-15 in August, and 4-5 in September.

Yep and Maddon was 12-24 in his last 36.

Yeah, but 15-4 in his first 19 then, as he was 27-28.

I doubt this team would be 19 games under .500 with Maddon at the helm.

I'm sorry, I know there are lineup depth issues and injury issues and bullpen issues, but Maddon would have this team, exactly as is, at or around .500.

Maybe Maddon or Scioscia isn't the right choice, Ok, but it definitely isn't Nevin.

No chance there’s a 19 game difference between managers over the course of a full season much less 100 games.

Oh Yeah? There is precedent, like when Shildt took over for Matheny in StL. Unfortunately there's no way to prove. But I'd bet Maddon would've eked out say 8-10 more wins, putting them somewhere between 69-72 and 71-70. 

The Angels have 16 walk off or 1 run losses under Nevin, and 10 walk off or 1 run wins.

Let alone the number of blow outs under Nevin. 

[Blarg]

Maddon was shit for the Angels. 

[khouse]

C'mon...can't we all just agree that both were/are terrible utilizing the talent on this staff & even worse with their in-game decisions? 

[jsnpritchett]

 

[Angels 1961]

GM, manager all coaches will be gone.

The ownership situation still complicates things.

If that weren't a factor, I'd say Nevin has virtually no chance of being the Angels manager in 2023.

[Stradling]

Manager and Reed are definitely gone. 

[eligrba]

Ray Montgomery, come on down!

 

of course after an exhaustive search…cough

Montgomery would be my guess, too.  He worked for the FO for a year, then has essentially served an apprenticeship in the dugout.

no offense Hubs.  You're out of your mind.  An 8 win minimum difference between Nevin and Maddon?  Come on dude.
